You know adidas Originals. You respect MRBAILEY. Now, you need to meet the ADIZERO ARUKU YAGI. This isn’t a rehash or a lazy collaboration. It’s a deliberate step into uncharted territory, designed for those who move without permission.
Its name translates from Japanese as “Walking Goat.” That alone says something. Goats don’t ask for paved paths. They climb. They grip. They adapt. So does this shoe. Its split-trail outsole, engineered for unpredictable surfaces and sudden shifts in direction, mirrors actual goat hooves.
Black dominates the upper. Not for fashion’s sake. It’s for function. Hiking-grade rubber wraps critical zones. A molded TPU rib cage locks your foot in place without restricting movement. An external heel stabilizer provides stability on uneven ground. Laces? Asymmetric. Quick. No fuss when you’re halfway up a slope.
